The Rossica Society Journal

The Rossica Society publishes two journals per year, the first in the Spring and the next in the Fall.

The journal consists of scholarly articles focused on all aspects of Russian philately that may include information on the pre-stamp days of Russia,
Imperial postage, prison mail, World War correspondence, or the postage of post-Soviet states. The fascinating and sometimes incredibly confusing
history of Russia, the Soviet Union, and post-Soviet states make our hobby a most interesting one!
